Methergine Question

[birch113]

I just had my follow up ultrasound and I'm retaining some tissue. My OB gave me Methergine - two doses for two days. Just wondering if anyone has experience with this? I'm trying to work out when to start it so that the worst is overnight if possible so I'm ok as I can be for DS.

Thanks. I'd never head of it, either. She was originally going to give me Cytotec, but apparently it can cause complications with asthma, so she switched to this. I'm going to wait until tomorrow night, just because I have no idea what to expect.

I didn't use that specific drug, but they gave me something similar because I had a clot they were concerned about. It really wasn't as bad as I expected- I took it before bed along with a percoset they told me to take with it, and I woke up the next morning with not problem. Hopefully it won't be too bad- I think it depends on the amount of tissue you have left and the strength of the dose they give you.

I've never experienced this. :/
